I believe this is my second post in this Forum. My wife had a 1996 Ford Contour that she bought brand new. We sold it to a friend of mine in 2004. He in turn sold it to another friend in 2005, then it got sold to another friend ! Now it came a full circle back to me. All these friends were in need of car and the Contour did a great job - ofcourse, it is now very tired.
Right now, it is at the Ford garage getting the flywheel replaced. Next, I need to pull some codes and see what's making the CEL stay on - guessing it is cat converter. If main cat converter is gone, is there any fix other than to replace it? Giving sucky gas mileage right now - but I see a lot of starting points in this forum and so will start checking on those.
Anyway, wanted to give you guys an update on the car.
